This year? Their ERA is 6.40, having given up eight homers.<br /><br />The starters’ production has been similar, with this year’s group totaling 33.2 innings with a 6.77 ERA, compared to last season’s 32.1 frames, which included a 6.68 ERA.<br /><br />Offensively, there is somewhat of an improvement, with the Sox hitters having totaled 22 runs thus far this season, compared to the 16 they had put up last season. This group has also hit .239, compared to the .181 clip it had after six games in ’11.<br /><br />***allanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
